hi all. i live in Germany. i found a tick on my back last July 2016 after a few days of gardening. sent the tick but it came out negative (could be because i packed it in scotch tape..didnt know any better).

first week of august i broke out in large hives. i went to the dermatologist and told him about the tick bite. Western blot came out positive for Borrelia IgM Antibodies. i started Doxycycline 200mg per day and took that for 25 days.

during those weeks i educated myself and found an LLMD here. he is in Pforzheim. he got me on 200mg Minocycline and 1500mg of Metromedazole (10 days). the first week was uneventful, however once the 7th day came (which was incidentally when i started taking the Metro), i had severe herxes (or side effects). i never had symptoms before .. and this scared me to death.

after taking the Mino for 12 days and my Metro for 7days (missed 2 doses because of the strength of my herx/side effects), my doctor asked me to stop the meds and to see him in 2 weeks after he comes back from his vacation.

now i am getting panic attacks. i also have this warm feeling at the back of my head, and sometimes my arms feel tingling and heaviness. i have palpitations.

incidentally over the phone my dr. also said that my blood also showed Bartonella and Mycoplasma. i actually asked him to check for confections otherwise we would still believe i am only dealing with Lyme.

i would like to do the Buhner protocol in conjunction with antibiotics (once i start on antibiotics once again).

i am so scared and feel helpless. would anyone please give me more information on other treatments available for me here in germany? thank you so much!

Skyy welcome here. I have no idea what is available in Germany. I wish I did.

Buhner's book is called Healing Lyme and look for his 2ns edition. Go to Chapter 8 to get started and then you can slowly read the rest of the book. That is what I did. Reading was so hard for me when I first had lyme.

Also to start you can eat as organically and as healthy as you can afford. And super important is to drink a lot of water - more than a normal person would. If you add in lemon that is very beneficial to your liver but drink it from a straw to protect the enamel on your teeth or drink the lemon water and rinse your mouth with plain water.

So sorry lyme has come your way. I completely understand how you are feeling right now. My heart goes out to you.I can't help a lot. I am in Australia I have heard of good reports from people going to germany from Australia for treatment at the St George Clinic, the contact is Fredericka Montpetit. My understanding is that its a bit expensive but some people get a full recovery, not all of course. There has been a steady stream of people talking about it in the media here.A lady I was talking to a while ago in Europe went to a Dr Klinghardt trained naturopath in Germany. Dr Klinghardt has his protocols on the internet and is well respected in Europe for treating Lyme.I think you are on the right track with doing the Buhner protocol and seeing your Lyme doctor but I dont know that its easy to get all the herbs he recommends in Europe.Everything feels like a steep learning curve at first and being so sick its a lot to take on initially. You will find your way. Hang in there. This forum is a great place to ask questions and get good advice. There will be others who will come along and know more. One more thing I have thought of - I have heard teasel Root works quite well for European lyme. A guy named Wolf Storl wrote a book about how much it helped him.Cyber hugs to you

hi Skyy....welcome to HW forum. Don't panic...Yes begin to buy the book of the Buhner protocol. All good advices above.Also we heard that in Germany there is some clinic a place that has great success with lyme. So rumors goes.Contracted lyme in 2015 via tick bite. First bite was untreated. Second bite was treated according to CDC guidelines and within 10 hrs from bite.Diagnosed in May 2016.Started partial Buhner protocol -Euleothero-, in June till end of JulyStarted Amoxicillin 4000 mg a day for 30 days in July 1 ended in Aug 1.Started full Buhener protocol on Aug. 4th. 2016

Thank you so much PeteZa. Yes this is indeed lifechanging. Thank you for your warm welcome. That means a lot.

ArtAngel, i have read about St. Georg Klinik in Bad Aibling. I wish i could find personal accounts in the internet however i believe there is not much openness allowed in the internet here. Meaning people cant openly recommend doctors or treatments that have worked for them.

I am now needing to bridge the coming 5 days till i get to see my LLMD. Please give me advice on how to keep my hope and spirits up. Im a wife and mom of a 17yr old... my husband is not home for days on end due to his job. Im alone in the house most of the time.

Hi Girlie yes it was Metronidazole. Im not sure if i will be taking it again on the next round of abX now that we know i have two other co's to take care of. The clinic you mentioned.. if it isnt the one in Bad Aibling would you please let me know? Ill send you a pm

Welcome sky..there are many who have succeeded .on guy with early disease said he cured in 60 days pulsing mino and tinadazole with apicot seed ..others here have used mhbot,bvt ,herbs and rife to heal ...i am using iv abx, bvt essential oils and rife with herbs and in the microscope they do not like it .

Hi Girlie. Yes ive read about them. I connected w them via FB just after my Western Blot test came out and sent them the results. I was already on Doxy 200mg then which was prescribed by my dermatologist. They were very kind in replying my PM.

In FB i read that there are some groups trying to discredit their work by sending fake patients in w cameras and so.

I have a Biowave 21 LCD and i just made an order for their Lyme chip so i can complement w daily zapping.

Thank you for info regarding detoxing. I realize now how impt it is so as to reduce the herxes.

I have just been reading about Yolanda Hadid's recovery from Lyme. She had the money to travel everywhere and try all kinds of therapies. She went to top clinics, and she tried all kinds of treatments. She is quite well now but says she still see's Dr Klinghardt. He must have helped her the most. He travels the world lecturing but has people in Europe trained by him in treating lyme. I would think that would be worth looking into.

If you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more. And this is another good list of possible detoxing routines: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html Detoxing for us is an incredibly important part of our healing.

We are just very protective of our doctors - and since we keep losing too many of them (there aren't enough of them to begin with) each year, we try to help protect them by not posting their names in public places.

I really wish so much of the information about Lyme doctors and treatments weren't "underground" information, but we are being forced to be this way.Herb only treatment for Lyme & Bart ended 12/11 - no active symptoms for 2 yrs -Herb only treatment for Babesia ended 12/12www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=2977364Had Lyme, Bart, Babs, RMSF, Ehrlichia, Myco, Anaplasmosis, EBVNew Lyme case 8/2014 - Healed 1/31/15 - unknowingly had Asymptomatic Babs and Asymptomatic Bart, being treated now though (2/2016)

Welcome. You will be fine it will just take some patience. If your tick came back negative for Lyme maybe you don't have it but one of the co infectionso transmitted by ticks. I believe that antibiotics with herbs are the best approach to heal from those monsters.

Welcome! With lyme, I personally don't put too much weight with testing - lyme is a clinical diagnosis and blood work is meant to support the findings. Buhner's books are awesome. In the interim - I found this helpful when getting started before I invested in Buhner's books. It may feel overwhelming now, but know, with treatment, health will slowly eek back. http://www.betterhealthguy.com/images/stories/PDF/BUHNER%20CONF%20NOTES.pdfOnce again. welcome... you might want to check out the info link at the top of the forum.

Thanks Robby. Im trying to think positive about everything. I will see my dr on the 5th and go from there. All the tips here are a lifesaver. I will definitely concentrate on the detox part on my next round of antibiotics. The herxes took me by surprise as i had no warning from my LLMD. I only really found out about herxes after i researched it on the net.

I agree with you, antibiotics w herbs seems to be a good route to go. I guess i need more researching to do as to what and where to get the herbs.
